I used SEM Trim black. A quart will go along ways! Used it on the dash, blacked out the core support, steering column and the hood call outs!
SEM trim black on both my 71 and 74 as well.

Go with 2 part system PPG with textured additive. First is 2 p0art epoxy spray then light sand. Follow with adhesion promoter then PPG Flat 2 part and add the powder txture additive. The spray bomb stuff is too fragile and wears off fast. Avoid. Once you apply the 2 part ppg then apply 3 coats of 2 part low gloss clear rememmber to use Hardner for a professional job like just dashes would do.

I did an e-body dash using a combo of SEM products and the Rustoleum textured black pictured above. SEM self-etching black primer followed by a very light fogging with the textured black, then top coated with SEM Trim Black. Great results. SEM paints go on really well and are easy to use.

Rust oleum textured black works for me.

gkent is correct - using the Rustoleum textured suede finish works great.

Body guy used Hot Rod Black on our dash and column. Looks great!
